Can A Cat Give You Impetigo

Among the lakes and the landscape around the refuge Arbol

September 12, 2010

The Arbol I met him a few years ago going to make the Emilius: we had found very good and also the shelter was in a lovely valley (and still is). Then I saw that there is a comodosissima chairlift that goes up to Lake Chamolè, making the refuge is easily accessible even to those who did not want to squeeze the legs and lungs. Here is how was this tour that today, after three years, it revived completely.
bad for some last-minute defections: I feel sorry for them and for those who surrendered before the wall of the waiting list ... maybe now he could share with us this trip, an excursion with all the trimmings, grace, and blessed with time, that made this weekend one of the most beautiful of the entire year.

The group is stored at the cableway of Pila and after this installation will take a second: the chairlift Chamolè, which will enable us to overcome the first 550m of ascent without a shot being fired. We are in the company of bikers that plunge down from the slopes of Pila and we can see that these dips rowdy, dressed like the gladiators, they are on two wheels. If they are hard, I'm clearly softening as a cracker in the water: I see only Chamolè that someone wearing a nice pair of tennis shoes ... no order of boots. Unfortunately, the omelet is done and I accept the descarponata in the group.
brings us to the beautiful Mirror Lake Chamolè and clouds in the sky that camped in spite of any weather forecast, it is leaving the sky clear and our smiling faces. Ranin tadpoles graze in the lake and all around us and to enjoy moments of peace. I am also very quiet, despite the proximity of one of my entire "favorites", but it goes to graze at higher altitudes in the company of another "leg gay."

I, with tranquilloni, progressed from "look-look-learn" along the curves that misrepresent us to earn interest until Chamolè hill. And in our travels we beaks first observing the summit of Mont Blanc then the whole chain up to the Grand Jorasses, the combined spring and never finally here is the Rosa and the Matterhorn. Appeal of the 4000 lacks only the Gran Paradiso that it remains well hidden behind the peaks that surround us.
appeal can not miss the Emilius and Becca di Nona, which we fired a few months ago following tortuosissimo that path, which is visible from here.
remains to identify the species of plant fart, which overflows "fart" in the path alternate times. Masochistically we smelled a dozen plants, potentially in the dock, but the PM fails to deliver a formal guilty.
From the pass we descend in the shelter that accommodates pianorone Arbol (or Arbolle, I still do not understand how many elle) and we divide it by the lunch break: those who shoot polentone being literally struck, those who are satisfied sandwiches along the banks of the lake.
It 'nice, is warm, the sky is clear as the lens of my "baby" is the right time to take some pictures ...
After a stroll around, we take the way back hamming and chatting. Some are also pleasantly surprised by the last stop on the Lake Chamolè and pronounce the sentence, which will be fatal: "But if the T are all so we do a little thought ..."

No, not all T are as follows: the climate has played a key role even if the place is and always will be beautiful, the sun has definitely made it more enjoyable. Unfortunately
return to the traffic made us lose a bit 'of that beautiful atmosphere captured during the day in the mountains. I hope that the sight of the photos help participants regain a bit 'of inner peace, which will serve as the next working day.

It starts with the white sticking out from the rooftops

all white with Lake Chamolè

And then comes the Matterhorn
